In Canada, AtkinsRéalis has been awarded a contract by TESCanada to provide front end engineering and design services for their Projet Mauricie green hydrogen hub in Quebec. “Energy secure and affordable Net Zero grids will be needed as we electrify a larger portion of our economies,” said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer, AtkinsRéalis. “Green hydrogen provides an attractive clean energy option for hard to decarbonize sectors. We’re pleased to deliver our clean energy engineering expertise to advance the green hydrogen ecosystem and ensure a successful energy transition.” TESCanada’s Projet Mauricie is a renewable energy initiative that aims to accelerate the energy transition by producing up to 70,000 tons per year of green hydrogen, which will be used to decarbonize industrial processes and heavy transportation in Quebec. The project will reduce emissions by 800,000 tons of CO2 per year supporting Quebec’s decarbonization objectives. As part of the project, clean electricity will largely be supplied by new, purpose-built renewable power generation including wind and solar farms totaling 1,000 MW. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2028.
